We work with founders to turn bold ideas into brands that sell.
Take your idea from 0-100 in twelve months with the Firstmile Method. A company kickstart designed to take innovative products to market and help you close your first deals.
Finally, a practical path to selling your idea.
Uncover what customers really need, craft a compelling narrative and visual presentation, and close your first deals.
Don’t invest money based on a hunch: get it confirmed with consumer insights. Our unique strategy workshops utilize proven techniques to get to the truth of what customers really need — and what they’ll buy.
02 Create a proposition that sells
Does your offering have enough potential to become a big business? Together, we create a differentiating name, set pricing, and design an identity that is perfectly aligned with your key customers.
03 Land your first contracts
We help you sign your first 3-5 launching customers to prove that there is a market out there for your business and start creating revenue.
Our model
Kickstart your startup in six to twelve months.
You have a great idea. Now what? That first mile – where an innovation moves from an idea on paper to the market – is hard to cross. Thankfully, you don’t have to traverse it alone.
Three reasons to go the first mile…
Start up faster
Bringing innovative products to market and achieving mainstream success comes with numerous roadblocks to slow you down. The First Mile will give you the knowledge and confidence to travel this perilous but ultimately promising terrain.
Prove product-market fit
Often, having a great product alone isn’t enough. If people don’t know you, why would they buy from you? We help you launch faster with memorable marketing assets and proven sales techniques.
Reduce risk for investors
For investors, start-ups are risky when they are not yet generating sales. A company that’s s already realizing profits has more or less proven that there is a market for their product or service.
